Hello All,
I am somewhat new here in that I have watched this forum for about 8 years now but never registered until today. So here is my issue and question...
I have a 1965 thunderbird and one of my headlight rings have broken. I have search for a replacement but places like Ebay want way too much. After a google search I was brought to this website: http://www.resotartionpartssource.com
So...are the any other Ford models, mustang, F100, Galaxie, that used the same size headlight ring as the 1965 thunderbird?
I hope this is an easy question but the website simply does provide any information on ring diameter
Thanks All,
Headlight Ring

Re: Headlight Ring
Please define "ring" - are you talking about the stamped stainless steel retainers with three retaining tabs that hold the headlight bulbs in, or the decorative chromed pot-metal bezel casting? If the former, any Ford product from the period with the quad headlight setup, i.e. full- and mid-size Ford/Mercury, Lincoln; if the latter, '64-'65 T-bird only.Pueblo wrote:Hello All,

Re: Headlight Ring
Thank you for the response.
Forgive me, yes I was speaking of the steel retainer that holds the bulbs in place.
Thank you again!

I suspect you could call someplace like "The Bird Nest" in Portland Or. and they will have hundreds of them in stock!
